That is all from us here. Join us for the final ODI played at St. Kitts on Monday. On behalf of Kiran, Ganesh and Shashreek, this is Sid V saying good night.

Presentation Ceremony:

Narine: To play in front of the home fans is a special feeling. We showed depth in our batting. Pollard and the others contributed. Best also bowled very well and it was a team effort. I still have a dream to play Test cricket.

Sunil Narine is the MoM for his haul 2/20 in his 10 overs.

Sammy: It is a wonderful feeling. I thought it looked like a 200 wicket. The partnership between Pollard and Thomas was crucial. Narine did a commendable job. Best got us wickets at crucial wickets and we deserve this series victory. In the last two games, our top order has not batted well but the lower order has contributed. New Zealand have improved as the series progressed and they came hard at us. Rossco said 3-2 is better than 4-1 and we have to come out hard for the final ODI.

Taylor: To bring in Brendon McCullum who has played 200 games, you have experience. Credit to the West Indies. The cameos played by Sammy and my Delhi Daredevils team-mate Andre Russell was crucial. We did not execute our plans at the death. Oram bowled well. We were always behind the game. Towards the powerplay, we had built up some momentum. Narine was the pick of the bowlers. We are slowly improving in some areas. We have to come back well in the final ODI and build momentum for the Test series.

Best: We have been working very hard with Otis Gibson and I am very happy. I was raised by my grandmother in a Christian household and I always thank God for giving me the opportunity. Oram is a destructive player and I am happy to get his wicket. We need to continue on our good work. New Zealand will come hard. The guys batted well.

Tino Best and Sunil Narine were the absolute stars in the bowling line-up. The NZ batsmen had no clue against Narine while Best troubled them with his hostile pace and bounce. Ross Taylor played a fantastic knock and scored his 6th ODI century. However, there was no support from the other end and in the end New Zealand succumbed to a 24 run defeat. This means that New Zealand are yet to win an ODI bilateral series against the West Indies in the Caribbean. Stay tuned for the presentation.

Joy all around for the West Indies. The crowd at St. Kitts have gone wild. The last team that West Indies defeated in an ODI series, barring Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, was Sri Lanka in 2008. That series was remembered for the way Shivnarine Chanderpaul scripted a famous win in the first ODI at Port-of-Spain. He smashed a four of the second last ball and a six of the last ball bowled by Chaminda Vaas to give the Windies a famous win.

49.3

Dwayne Bravo to Southee, out Southee Run Out!! West Indies clinch the series. Good length, slower delivery just outside off, Southee again looks to swipe across the line to mid wicket, the ball breaks back in as he misses, Thomas collects it as Southee attempts an impossible single, both the batsmen are stranded mid way on the pitch as Thomas runs in and breaks the stumps. Southee run out (Devon Thomas) 3(8)

Dwayne Bravo to Southee, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!

49.2

Dwayne Bravo to Southee, no run, Southee backs away to the leg side and Bravo fires in a yorker length ball on leg stump, Southee has a wild swipe across the line and the ball just goes past the leg stump, Thomas dives to his left to stop it

49.1

Dwayne Bravo to Southee, no run, fuller length ball just outside off, Southee clears the front leg and clobbers it to long off but he does not take the single

Dwayne Bravo [3.0-0-19-0] is back into the attack

Bravo will be bowling the final over.

48.6

Best to Boult, no run, short of length ball outside off, it kicks up from the deck as Boult looks to run it down to third man, he misses it and that finishes an awesome spell from Best: 10-1-46-4

48.5

Best to Southee, 1 run, Southee makes room and Best follows him with a pitched up delivery on the pads, Southee thrashes it to long on where Pollard fires a rocket throw back to the bowler

48.4

Best to Boult, 1 run, full ball just outside off, Boult makes room and goes for the drive, gets an inside edge that rolls to square leg

48.3

Best to Southee, 1 run, fuller length ball on middle, driven down to long on

Trent Boult, right handed bat, comes to the crease

48.2

Best to Ross Taylor, out Caught by Sammy!! Best is simply the Best! That has probably sealed the game for the West Indies. A full toss outside off, Taylor makes room and looks to slog it over mid wicket, he ends up slicing at it and miscues it completely, the ball goes high into the sky and it settles down in the hands of Sammy at point, ends a marvellous innings from Taylor. Ross Taylor c Sammy b Best 110(115) [4s-6 6s-5]

Best to Ross Taylor, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

48.1

Best to Ross Taylor, no run, low full toss speared in on the middle and leg stump, Taylor looks to mow the slog to deep mid wicket, he gets an inside edge onto the pad and it rolls to the off side, Southee was charging down for the single but Taylor sends him back

Tino Best [9.0-1-43-3] is back into the attack

Big moment in the fourth ball. A free-hit at that time could have been crucial for the chances of New Zealand. The umpire did not signal a no-ball and it is a big mistake.

Narine to Southee, no run, this delivery spins away outside off, Southee has a swipe across the line and misses it, Thomas appeals for a catch and the umpire is unmoved, Sammy calls for the review but Narine has overstepped, but apparently the umpire did not signal the no-ball and Southee is safe

Sammy has opted for the review. It is for a catch against Southee. Oh dear, forget about that. It is a no-ball and it will be a free-hit. Some part of the front foot is not grounded behind the line. The umpire is taking an awfully lot of time. Hold on, it is not a no-ball and it is not out.

47.3

Narine to Southee, no run, this delivery spins away just outside off and Southee defends it back to the bowler

47.2

Narine to Ross Taylor, 1 run, short ball and spinning back in, Taylor backs away to the on side and short-arm swats it to mid wicket

Tim Southee, right handed bat, comes to the crease

The batsman crossed when the catch was taken and so Taylor will be on strike.

47.1

Narine to Doug Bracewell, out Caught by Pollard!! Narine continues to sparkle. Tossed up delivery floated wide outside off, Bracewell skips down the track and the ball spins in slightly, he gets beaten in the flight and miscues the lofted shot to long off where Pollard takes a simple catch. Doug Bracewell c Pollard b Narine 5(9)

Narine to Doug Bracewell, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

46.6

Dwayne Bravo to Ross Taylor, SIX, oh dear, this is not the way Bravo wanted to end the over, a high full toss on leg stump, Taylor helps it along the way and clouts it over the ropes at long leg, he was asking the square leg umpire to check for a waist high full toss but the umpire does not do so

46.5

Dwayne Bravo to Doug Bracewell, 1 run, another low full toss on the off stump, Bracewell whacks it to long off

46.4

Dwayne Bravo to Ross Taylor, 1 run, a low dipping full toss on the middle and leg stump, it is almost on a yorker length, Taylor can only squeeze it out to fine leg

46.3

Dwayne Bravo to Doug Bracewell, 1 run, low full toss just outside off, Bracewell clears the front leg and thumps it to lonf off

46.2

Dwayne Bravo to Doug Bracewell, no run, full and wide delivery outside off, Bracewell reaches out for it but cannot reach it, the ball was inside the white line and so it is not a wide

46.1

Dwayne Bravo to Ross Taylor, 1 run, full ball speared in on the middle and leg stump, Taylor heaves it to fine leg, he really swung that hard

Dwayne Bravo [2.0-0-9-0] is back into the attack

This has been a fantastic knock from Taylor. However, New Zealand need him to carry on here. Narine and Best have only one over remaining. Who will Sammy turn to now to bowl the remaining overs? Dwayne Bravo it will be.

45.6

Narine to Doug Bracewell, no run, this delivery breaks away sharply outside off, Bracewell goes on the backfoot and punches it to mid off

45.5

Narine to Doug Bracewell, no run, quicker ball on the middle and leg stump, Bracewell nudges it to short mid wicket

45.4

Narine to Ross Taylor, 1 run, there it is, what a knock from Taylor, short ball outside off, Taylor chops it to backward point for a single to bring up his 6th ODIcentury, can he stay on till the end?

45.3

Narine to Doug Bracewell, 1 run, this delivery spins away just outside off, Bracewell goes back and pats it to point, the fielder runs in and throws it to Thomas but Taylor is in easily

44.6

Best to Doug Bracewell, 1 run, good length ball angled in on middle and off, it jags back in a fraction as Bracewell pushes at it, the ball takes the inside edge and rolls to backward square leg, Taylor wanted the couple but Bracewell is not interested

Doug Bracewell, right handed bat, comes to the crease

44.5

Best to Oram, out Bowled!! Oram's misery has ended. He was really struggling out there. He gives himself a lot of room and Best keeps it simple, full and straight on middle, Oram looks to force it through cover and misses it, the ball uproots the middle stump and Best is on his knees, it is the classic case of 'You Miss, I Hit!' Oram b Best 6(18)

Best to Oram, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

44.4

Best to Ross Taylor, 1 run, full ball outside off, Taylor laces the square drive to deep backward point

44.1

Best to Oram, no run, short of length ball and it keeps low outside off, Oram wafts at it and gets beaten

Tino Best [8.0-1-40-2] is back into the attack

This is proving to be a wonderful contest. Narine is making the Kiwi batsmen clueless but the other bowlers are struggling to contain the flow of runs. Can Best do a better job than Russell? Taylor is the key here.

43.6

Narine to Ross Taylor, no run, superbly bowled, this delivery pitches on a good length and it spits back in sharply, it explodes off the deck as Taylor is cramped for room, the ball hits the pad and falls to the ground

Narine to Oram, no run, flatter ball just outside off, pushed to silly mid off

Slip in place now. Samuels moving in.

43.3

Narine to Oram, no run, a peach of a delivery from Narine, tossed up delivery on middle and it spins away at the last moment, Oram plays down the wrong line and goes through to the keeper

43.2

Narine to Oram, no run, the off-break just outside off, Oram has no clue about it and he defends it without any conviction

43.1

Narine to Ross Taylor, leg byes, 1 run, flatter ball on the pads, Taylor looks to work it to the leg side but the ball brushes the pad and it rolls to the leg side

The sudden surge by Taylor reminds me of the way how he absolutely blasted Pakistan out of submission in the World Cup league match at Pallekele. That earned him the nickname of the Pallekele bomber. 100 runs were scored in the last five overs.

42.6

Andre Russell to Ross Taylor, 1 run, fuller length ball just outside off, Taylor gets forward and pushes it to long on, 21 runs in that over from Russell and New Zealand are right back in the contest

42.2

Andre Russell to Ross Taylor, SIX, the attempted slower delivery goes awry and Taylor makes him pay again, a low full toss on the stumps, Taylor gets underneath it and hammers it into the stands at deep mid wicket

42.1

Andre Russell to Ross Taylor, SIX, that is another massive blow from Taylor, Russell bowls this delivery on a good length just outside off, it is in the slot for Taylor who swings through the line and smashes it over wide long on, it has possibly gone into the car-park

41.6

Update: 09:40 AM local: Some pleasing news from the ground, the play is scheduled to begin in about 5 mins. No overs have been lost.

Taylor: I am fit enough to play today. Williamson led the team well in my absence and we have made three changes to the team and we hope to put up a better performance today. We need to play well and need to remove Gayle early.

Sammy: We will bat first. The wicket looks a lot drier than the previous match and the spinners will get some purchase later on. Ramdin is getting married and he misses out today and Rampaul is not playing. Best comes in his place

West Indies have won the toss and elected to bat

Update 09:05 AM local: The toss has been delayed as overnight rains has left the outfield soggy. Good news is that the players are out there warming up and the ground staff have been working hard to get the ground fit for some play later.

Hello and welcome to the 4th ODI between West Indies and New Zealand. The Kiwis won the last match comprehensively and they will be upbeat as they take on a much improved WI outfit. Taylor and Brendon McCullum is expected to play today's match and that will bolster the Kiwi line-up. The toss is expected to happen in about 15 minutes. Stay tuned for that....

Preview

It was meant to be a day to remember. West Indies were to pay tribute to the deceased Runako Morton by winning against the demoralized New Zealand and seal the series. The visitors had other ideas though and turned the record book upside down to keep the series alive.

New Zealand kept the series alive with an emphatic victory over the hosts in the 3rd ODI at St. Kitts. After looking out of depth in the T20 series and the first two ODIs, the Kiwis suddenly sprung back to life with an all-round performance at Warner Park. Despite managing only 249, an under par score at this ground, the Kiwis came back superbly with the ball to inflict a humiliating 89 run loss for the hosts. They will welcome Brendon McCullum back into the side. Initially rested following a hectic summer, injury troubles forced the team management to call McCullum back into the scheme of things. If that was encouraging, the news that Ross Taylor is almost fit and might even play Saturday's match would have been music to the ears of the management.

The bowling has found its rhythm after a tough time against Gayle and co in the beginning of the tour. They were aided by some rash shots from the batsmen, but credit must be given to the bowlers for outfoxing the batsmen

The West Indies juggernaut came to a rude halt at St. Kitts. Chris Gayle, the star performer fell cheaply and the rest of the batting line-up failed to stand up and be counted. The West Indies batting line-up is filled with batsmen of flair and natural attacking ability. On a flat track and short boundaries, the batsmen played one shots too may and contributed to their own downfall. They would look to correct their errors as they seek their 1st ODI series win under captain Darren Sammy.

Team News:

New Zealand will be back to full strength with the arrival of Brendon McCullum and Ross Taylor. Daniel Flynn got starts but failed to convert it into bigger scores while Tom Latham has looked out of depth at international level. It should be a straightforward swap for the team management.

Denesh Ramdin is entering into wedlock and has been given leave with Devon Thomas taking up the wicket keeping gloves. There might be no more changes.

Quotes:

For the last two or three days I've been playing a full role in training and been hitting the ball nicely - Ross Taylor is gung-ho about his return.

I think New Zealand played really well. It was an off day for us and we have put it behind us and looking forward to getting back to our winning ways - Darren Sammy is not pressing the panic button as yet.
